Thought it would be cool to see some members previous vehicles. I myself have been through a bunch and the variety is all over the place. I thought this would be a cool discussion to get going.

Grew up in a Chevy family, played with Fords when my dad worked for them, and graduated to all Mopar/Jeep once I matured ;)

1) First car - 1968 Chevelle 300 Sport Coupe - purchased on my 1st birthday, given to me on the 14th one. Restored it and sold it to finish college:

2) 1970 Olds Cutlass Convertible - only had it 3 months as I met my wife and couldn't afford the gas and an out-of-state relationship!
3) 1985 Ford EXP - Largest pile of crap ever! No pictures so I'm not incriminated later.
4) 1989 Ford Escort GT - Second largest pile of crap ever. Was my wife's and my first new car ever. Dad worked for Ford Aerospace and we paid just around $9550 for it new with his discounts. Spent 3 months in the shop in 1 year.
5) 1993 Dodge Shadow ES - AWESOME car after the Escort POS. V6/5-Speed had lots of power and I modified it heavily for autocrossing. Sorry I ever sold it!!!

6) 1985 Plymouth Horizon - great commuter car
7) 1988 Ford Taurus - last of the Fords, used when we needed more room with two kids. Kept it a year - regretted every moment...
8) 1993 Dodge Caravan - V6 and an awesome road trip vehicle with kids!
9) 1999 Dodge Caravan Sport - an even more awesome-r road trip vehicle!
10) 1968 Chevelle 300 Sport Coupe - Got another one to restore! Kept it 8 years before I got tired of running a large car club and dealing with old car stuff.

11) 2002 Dodge Durango SLT - Good off-road, good camping vehicle, horrible gas mileage!

12) 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - Great commuter 4x4 and fantastic off-road. First Jeep I ever built/lifted/modified. Sold it for a small fortune due to the perfect condition and mods.

13) 2012 Jeep JKU - Mild build and my current daily driver/ladder haulter:

14) Wife's 2013 JKU:

15) The new toy - 2018 Scat Pack. I've put almost 4k miles on this thing in 4 months and could NOT be happier. Simply LOVE this car!!!

My first car was a 1987 Aries coupe. Hit a deer with it and picked up a 83 Ford ranger 2wd for cheap. Then I realized I loved Mopars and couldn't take a blue oval any more so I purchased a 1980 Chrysler Cordoba 318 and quickly bought a 1977 Ramcharger 440 auto 4x4. BUB as my mom called it (Big Ugly Beast) it had 4 inch lift auto 35 inch tires.

Then I got married and inherited a 1987 GMC 305 auto 4x4. Sharp truck, but it didn't hold a candle to my Mopars. Traded it 2 weeks later on an 89 Ramcharger.

This is about 3 years after I bought it. I got it to plow my lane and do lots of camping and exploring.
I bought my wife a brand new 2000 Dodge Neon and we were set for awhile, until the neon was wrecked into and replaced by a 1998 2 door dodge neon sport coupe.

Then came my collection days. On my way back from Chrysler at Carlisle I purchased my dream truck a 1979 Plymouth Trailduster 360 4x4 auto 33 inch tires, oh man do I miss that truck. My sister in law decided to back into the side of it one day and ruined all the joys of my life...lol...so I went and bought a 1978 Powerwagon 318 auto 4x4 shortbed and then a 1977 Powerwagon 318 4 speed 4x4 shortbed that came with a 1987 Plymouth Sundance 2.2 5speed.

Then came my first 2nd Gen, a 1998 Blue Dodge Ram quad Cab shortbed 360 auto 4x4.
Got a job on the Railroad, moved had to sell the collection, and bought my wife a brand new 2006 Jeep Liberty that we traded the neon in on. Got moved to a further location with the rise in gas Prices and traded the 99 Ram on a chevy cobalt...ugh...but it was a 2 door with a 5 speed and got great mileage and that was all it did. Couldn't take it anymore and traded it on a 2010 Chrysler Sebring. We loved this car, but we got hit from a kid who ran a red light and it was totaled. Almost forgot...I had also purchased the Ram V10 I have now and traded the 2006 Liberty on a 2009 Dodge Caliber. Unfortunately other than the Ram V10 I have no pics of those cars and trucks.

Then came my second collection days when I bought this

And then this
0428001234.jpg

Then we traded the caliber on a Kia Sorento 4x4 cause she wanted a bigger SUV and a 5speed, and I sold those 2 trucks and bought the 2013 Cummins which brings us to the current vehicles we own and are in the other thread.

Need the find the Pics I have of the Trailduster, I really miss it and will have another.

I guess my Caliber qualifies for this now lol. It was my first car.





Prior to that I drove my dad's Dakotas:






and my mom's Caravans:


Prior to those, we had a '90 Voyager, '94 Grand Voyager, '97 Grand Voyager, '98 Neon, '99 Voyager, '00 Neon and an '01 Caravan
